Mia, Eli, and Doug are comparing the sizes of
their movie collections.
Ell has twice as many
movies as Mia. Doug has
14 more movies than
Mia. Write an expression
to represent the total
movies the friends have.

4m + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

m = # movies Mia has

2m = # movies Eli has

14 + m = # movies Doug has

Total:  m + 2m + 14 + m = 4m + 14

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
